I'm setting up a new Windows domain and I'd like some advice on Active Directory Site design.<br />
<br />
We have 4 physical locations.<br />
A = Remote office; 0 Servers; 10 nodes; 1 T1<br />
D = Remote office; 1 Server; 20 nodes; 2 T1s<br />
S = Remote office; 1 Server; 20 nodes; 2 T1s<br />
T = Corp HQ; 2 Servers; 80 nodes; 4 T1s - also hosts the VoIP<br />
&nbsp;<br />
All physical servers are hosting multiple virtual servers.<br />
Each site will have its own DC; Exchange DAG; Print Server; Terminal Server and backups.<br />
<br />
I plan to use Branch Cache as well.
